In my backyard between some friendly apple trees and the curly willow, resides an evil, nasty Hawthorn tree. While burning brush this weekend, I managed to get the end of one of the thorns embedded in the tip of my finger. Ouch.
Despite its horrible spikes it does look pretty right now because it is loaded with orange berries, which I am told will stay throughout the winter. In about 15 minutes, I had myself an autumn wreath. I could have made it a bit fuller, but then it would not have been a 'quick' wreath. Anything that takes longer than 15-20 minutes these days is guaranteed to be interrupted and often shelved and forgotten. You will just have to take my word for it that it really doesn't look as Christmas-y in real life as it does in the photo with my eternally-Christmas wallpaper in the background.
